Louise Hoffsten Dead Town Lyrics

[L. Hoffsten]
A little place where it's quiet
stop at a five'n dime
he'll invite you for dinner:
a packet of crackers and a bottle of wine
Postman Bob's watching tv
learning about romance and love
to get the nasty details
he listens to noise from the apartment above
Livin' in a dead town
acting like it's near bed time
Livin' in a dead town
where standing out's the worst of crimes Considerate Dennis is working
hard by the railroadtrack
but not even his mother
knows that Dennis is a pyromaniac
Scandal Susie is dreaming
livin' in a double life
a moviestar during night-time
but in the day she plays the part of the butcher's wife
Livin' in a dead town
acting like it's near bed time
Livin' in a dead town
where standing out's the worst of crimes
